Says Gene Gotti got out of jail recently...?

No one knows right now. The leading theory is that might have something to do with the #3000 pounds of cocaine that just got found -

Interesting times for people that follow organized crime. Carmine Persico dead, Gene Gotti out, Bananno bosses freed. This is the 3rd highly visible mob related killing in about 6 months in the NY tristate after years of peacefulness. Plus you've got a lot of Latin and Eastern European gangsters quietly gaining power.

Perhaps but wouldnt they whack the guys directly in charge of the coke? This guy being whacked is internal or its a rival group willing to start a war. Most likely internal. Maybe his faction got the blame for the bust though. $77m is a lot to lose.

my great grandfather was a "jewel guy" for the Costello brothers, before one of them became a boss....he was from Rochester.. talking 1940's I believe... lol my grandmother said she never knew the depression even happened.. nobody actually knew for sure what he did for a living or how he earned so much money... nobody actually believed it until he passed away... the funeral home looked like a scene from a movie from what I hear... big caddys, expensive suits, bodyguards...

Interesting seeing how many Getbiggers have family ties or knew mobsters. My mom's side of the family is Sicilian and it was rumored there were members as well but I never met anyone or know what crime family they may have been involved with. My mom is 50% Sicilian making me only 25% so don't call me a dago!

I liked the way when they all met up to tell Tony that he was gay that Christopher said he knew all along.

More than three decades of Mafia peace has been shattered by the murder last night of Gambino crime family boss Francesco 'Franky Boy' Cali.
Cali, 53, was shot six times and run over by a pickup truck outside his redbrick house in the upmarket Todt Hill neigborhood of Staten Island.
His wife and young children were inside the house and one man, believed to be a family member, ran outside, collapsed and cried, 'Papa! Papa!'
Cali's murder is the first hit on a Mafia boss since John Gotti arranged the assassination of then-Gambino head Paul Castellano in 1985.

This is the first Mob boss that's been hit since Paul Castellano in 1985. There could be a war between the family's.

I heard that many of the hits have to come from Sicily. If that is the case, and the hit was ordered from the TOP, then no retaliation can be done.
Obviously, just what I have read/heard.
Crazy to think there may be a mob war in NYC.

They just had a press conference on this -
Younger male hits Cali's car, Cali comes out and talks to him for about about a minute, then suspect fires 12 shots (9mm) at him hitting him multiple times.
Cali wasn't run over. They think he was running around the car trying to avoid the shots and maybe get under the car, and fell in the street causing people to think he was run over.
They have the murder on video.
First 5 or 10 minutes here - https://newyork.cbslocal.com/video/4046872-nypd-news-conference-on-killing-of-frank-cali/ .

There's also supposedly an internal memo around NY police departments warning about MS-13 attacking around now and next week IIRC. Strange how all of these things are coming together. Could NY actually purge illegals without the bad po-po, and Dems being held accountable somehow???
I literally question everything now. I'm not a 9/11 troofer or anything like that, but it seems nothing is to be taken at face value anymore. :'(
Some YT clip came up with that Rich Dad Poor Dad author, and he had a quote that was sooooo true, and great advice for the times we are living in. He said....
"A statement closes the mind. A question opens it up" (think I got it right, but the message is the same)

I didn’t mean random as in some random guy walking down the street.
Random as in they weren’t ordered by the higher ups and took matters into their own hands.

I've been around some connected guys, bartended at a bar were some connected guys would come in. We took care of them first no matter what and it was always a hundred dollar tip each time they would order. One guy was an "enforcer" freshly out of jail, he was into bodybuilding and he nicknamed me "flex." This same guy started a brawl one night, knocked out 3 guys, cops were called, he runs out the bar, jumps on his Harley and tries to make a run for it, cops corner him in and arrest him. Not sure what happened to the guy, but he looked a lot like Mike Quinn the bodybuilder.

Not random. Police say it was well orchestrated. Only question is was it sanctioned or the start of a Mob war

The heads of all the five family's are in NYC. They don't have to report anything to Sicily.
Gambino
Genovese
bonnano
Lucchese
Columbo
It's not crazy to think there would be a mob war in NYC. That's where the Mob is headquartered, so that's the most likely place to have a mob war.
One or more of the other family's decided to off the head of the Gambino family. There will be a retaliation similar to the Godfather. These are people who do not take kindly to disrespect.
On a side note, the real life person played by Joe Peschi in Good Fellas was killed by John Gotti. Apparently Gotti tortured him before he killed him.

Reelz shows mafia documentaries a lot and it's cool seeing how the guys in Hollywood have portrayed these real life mobsters very well.

If by knowing a lot about this stuff you mean I've watched the Sopranos, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, and the Godfather, then yes I do. ;D
Meadow Soprano taught me and the rest of the country about the five families.
Seriously, if you live in New York, you should probably know a little bit more about the Italian Mafia than you do. Your neighborhood is probably a territory of one of the five families and probably has been for the last hundred years. The last thing you want is to wake up next to the head of one of your prized racing horses, or to have someone make you an offer you can't refuse.

I knew John Gotti, Sr. He was always broke and would kill you for a nickel. His wife is the only thing that kept the family together. But he was raised hungry and poor, two essential elements to being a real gangster.
The Italian "mafia" is another government bogeyman. Is there organized crime? Of course - there always has been and there always will be. Does it tend to concentrate in the lower social classes and neighborhoods, which usually involves immigrants? Of course it does. However, the ethnic Italian neighborhoods that used to breed tough guys are almost all gone now. The Italians still have some historical union ties in big, northern cities but most of the crimes they charge mafia guys with these days are usually inconsequential. The big earners in the mafia are now usually involved in white-collar type stuff, which they really don't even need the mafia for other than to legitimize the attitude that it's okay to rip people off. Most Italian-Americans have moved on to the middle and upper classes. They have zero connection to the mafia but some like to foster the impression that they do because they think it makes them look tough (thanks to Hollywood). Today's mafia guys would shit their pants if they were ever targeted by the cartels, or the Russians.

Please tell us more. Gotti was a degenerate gambler from what I hear, eventually sinking millions on it when he became Boss.

Not quite. I was a teen when he was working out of his first "club," a bar not far from where I lived. There was an OTB not far away where he would spend his afternoons. When he moved up in the world he left that bar and operated out of the club in Ozone Park that became famous later on as his "hangout."

I don't really know. The Bonnanos were really the predominant family in my neighborhood when I was growing up and by the time I was old enough to really understand what was going on Gotti had moved his operation to another neighborhood where the Gambinos were the main family.

In Italy, the Mafia are still very much real and have branches and affiliates in the US.
The Camorra control most of the cement industry in Italy, almost all of waste disposal, and make 'copies' so good in their sweat shops they are sold in retail stores. You can't open a business in many areas without first dealing with them.
The Sicilian Cosa Nostra are more popular due to Hollywood, but the Camorra are the main mafia organisation in Italy.
If anyone is interested, read Gomorrah by Roberto Saviano.

Makes you wonder if Italians are moral degenerates. People seem to think there's something noble about the mob when it's just a group of guys who steal, bully, cheat and backstab each other. If they decide you are gonna die it's going to be your friend or maybe even relative who kills you. You could be a loyal family member for 30 years and get busted and they wack you on a whim. There's no loyalty or trust, it's 'dog eat dog' betrayal and deceit.......No honor...

Roberto Saviano: ‘I saw my first corpse in secondary school. It didn’t shock me’
By Kathryn Bromwich
What was your childhood in Naples like?
I was born in ’79, and at the end of the 80s there was an incredible Camorra war – 4,000 dead, three or four a day. I saw my first corpse in my first year of secondary school. Since then I’ve seen dozens. They didn’t shock me. As soon as we heard of one, my friends and I would immediately go see it. It was a way of saying, “we’re grownups” – anyone who didn’t look at corpses was still a child. Once we saw a Camorrista drowned in milk, in a mozzarella vat. But for me it was unthinkable to be a Camorrista leader at 15. My family and upbringing protected me. These kids also have an idea of “everything, now” that my generation didn’t have.
Did you feel a responsibility not to glorify this world?
This is something I’m often accused of, but I think it’s exactly the opposite. Criminals build their power on glamour, and you pull that apart not by denying it exists, but by showing what’s behind it: the years in jail, the consequences, the ridiculous theatre of it.
In May 2016 you said the UK was the most corrupt country in the world. Do you still think so?
Absolutely. I’m not sure why, but the UK thinks of itself as not particularly corrupt. It doesn’t have a political class that’s more corrupt than South America or Italy, and it doesn’t have a more corrupt police force than Greece or Morocco. But it’s the country with the dirtiest capital in the world. Because London has no financial rules: money laundering is the primary source of British financial wealth – the money from Russian or South American coke. And it’s all legal. Maybe that’s why Britain doesn’t see it as particularly shameful – creating an economic system substantially based on the absence of financial regulation. It doesn’t matter if it’s blood money, from arms trafficking, from drugs.

NYPD identifies suspect in slaying of Gambino crime boss Frank Cali
By Larry Celona and Amanda Woods - New York Post
The mafia didn’t kill Gambino boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali — a twentysomething Staten Island hothead with a personal beef did, police and sources said Saturday.
Anthony Comello, 24, a non-mobster who works odd construction jobs, was in custody in a New Jersey jail and expected to face murder charges in connection to the killing of Cali, 53, who was blasted at least 10 times outside his Todt Hill mansion on Wednesday, police said at a news conference at NYPD headquarters.
“Everything is on the table at this point,” said Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea. “The investigation continues.”
Comello will be extradited to Staten Island in the next few days to face murder charges, Shea said.
Shea said police recovered the blue pickup truck that witnesses said slammed into Cali’s parked car, luring him outside to his demise.
The stunning hit was the first assassination of a New York City mob boss since an upstart John Gotti had Gambino boss Paul Castellano whacked outside Sparks Steak House in 1985.
Investigators quickly feared a mob war in the making.
But they now believe a personal dispute was to blame — over a woman in Cali’s family, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
The nature of the dispute was not immediately clear.
But sources said Cali — who helmed a family notorious for gambling, loan sharking, and its deadly trade in heroin and oxycodone — thought Comello was trouble, sources said.
Cali didn’t think Comello was worthy of associating with a woman in his family, the sources added.

Rudolph Guiliani slowly trudges up the stairs to the attic. He sits in front of an old footlocker and wipes the dust away. With a heavy heart and a deep sigh he unlocks and pushes it open.
The time has come again.

Yes, who would play Rudy?

I wonder if he was really hired. He just may not be talking.
This seems far fetched, that someone would kill a mob boss over a personal vendetta.

Makes you wonder if Italians are moral degenerates. People seem to think there's something noble about the mob when it's just a group of guys who steal, bully, cheat and backstab each other. If they decide you are gonna die it's going to be your friend or maybe even relative who kills you. You could be a loyal family member for 30 years and get busted and they wack you on a whim. There's no loyalty or trust, it's 'dog eat dog' betrayal and deceit.......No honor...
Yes it does show them to me moral degenerates in every way.

Anthony Comello had no idea Frank Cali was a mob boss. Look at him, does he look like a hit man?

Didn't know he was a mob boss? And both are from SI. hmmm....
They actually don't know yet:
"In a news conference on Saturday, New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said investigators will be asking whether the alleged shooter was acting alone or working for other people."

I think so, the story about the woman is just a cover-up!
I'm certain he was paid to do the dastardly deed (Paid in Quarter Pounders and Bitcoin)

Casino is my favorite with Goodfellas being right behind it.

Great scene
Crazy parallels between this scene and Batts' death scene from Goodfellas. Frank Vincent also present for both.
